You're right...sometimes you can beat the book. When GL1800's came out, Honda was paying close to 2 hours warrany for replacing a headlight bulb...
You are totally right...sorry 'bout the tangent. As a full time shop guy on motorcycles, sleds, ATV's...other odds and ends, I'd say 25% of my...
Pretty clear you need the kind of help this thread just can't provide. Try reading the newspaper...that'll make your fuel problems seem small and...
Good job, Joey...like your ingenuity. I have a couple suggestions. I like to break that top steering nut loose while everything is still...
I've done a couple Vtecs...it IS quite a job. I think ten hours is a bit much...six or seven seems fair. BTW, flat rate for a 16K check right...
Actually, the colder it is, the SLOWER your battery will discharge. A fully charged battery wont' freeze until around -70F, however a weak or...
Huh...wonder what all that green crap is I've been finding in fuel systems all these years? And maybe it's just a coincidence that almost every...
Yes!! I agree with this. Good point about the carbon build up...especially on highly tuned sportbike engines. A few years back I worked on a...
Yes that's what I meant. Matter of fact you can also switch leads on coils and pulse generators (of which there are two each) and see where the...
There really is alot to this topic. I am a professional and have ALOT of experience with unsuccessful storage. I say it's not smart to start...
No...that's not exactly what I meant. Not all those ignition units are interchangable, though some may be. And I don't know exactly which ones...
Looks like you found out...yes...the ignition units are interchangable on all the early 4 cylinders that use two boxes. An integral part of...
If your ignition system is producing spark...yes. Normal would be the fuel line kinda pulses fuel. If you lose spark, the fuel cut relay won't...
That sounds like a questionable idea in this case. These shims are so small you'd end up sanding your fingerprints off too. Also, if you don't...
Some good advice in this thread. I agree an easy out is too small and breaking one off just creates worse problems than you have...
Two simple things come to mind. Make sure your throttle cable has some freeplay and check the routing for binding when the handlebar is turned....
Wait and buy the shims as you need them. Chances are everything will be in spec and you won't need any. Also, it'd be kinda spendy to cover all...
Water is your enemy. I would use marine type fogging oil as it is made to inhibit corrosion in the the presence of moisture...and the aerosol can...
Yes...lots of it. For someone with moderate mechanic skills, measuring tools and a shop manual, I'd say its pretty 'do-able'. If changing oil is...
On some really stubborn ones, I found it helps to remove the caliper and heat it to about 175 F, or just hot enough so you wouldn't want to pick...
